Topic: [RESOLVED] linuxcoin hangs at boot. (Read 1016 times)
Glad you got it fixed. Maybe I'll use this, if I ever convince my dad to make a whole new system for mining lol
I was able to get it to boot and run.
The problem was that I had enabled the IOMMU setting in my BIOS and that was causing the hang.
I had enabled this setting after installing ubuntu on the box. I realized that some of the BIOS settings were the cause of the issue when I tried to boot from an ubuntu install disk and that locked up too.

I was recently referred to the linxcoin distribution as an easy method to get Linux mining up and running.
I have downloaded the 0.2a distro and flashed it to a USB stick with unetbootin and tried booting. The distro kernel hangs during loading with a black screen. The keyboard lights will not change state. Locked solid.
Tried burning the image to a DVD and booting that. Same problem.
The same machine runs Ubuntu, Win 7 x64, and anything else I through at it.
Here's the specs on the box...
Anyone have any idea why this wont boot?
